One step furtherOne step further

E3 – Learning and Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage: Explore how can ICT improve people’s engagement in culture-related activities

Next generation of digital libraries Digitisation (books, audio-visual archives) Intelligent cultural heritage Preservation of digital resources

Technology-enhanced learning Personalisation and adaptive learning Explore interactions between the individual and organisational learning Deeper understanding of learning processes by exploring links between human learning,

cognition and technology

Why digital preservation is important for the EC?Why digital preservation is important for the EC?

The more people you have in the network higher is its value!

Increased awareness of “how critical the problem is” but in many countries a national strategy for digital preservation is not yet in place

Concrete actions across the EU remain rather limited in terms of scope and mobilisation of resources

Need to stimulate a more pro-active attitude by the Member States involving a broad range of stakeholders

Actions at EU level

Mostly as part of the IST RTD programmes ERPANET (2001-04): awareness raising and

mobilisation of stakeholders DELOS: problem definition and research agenda PRESTOSPACE, BRICKS, MINERVA FP6 – call 5 (Sept 05)

2 new integrated projects CASPAR and PLANETS OAIS-based systems and tools supporting longer term

availability and accessibility of multi-sourced and multi-formatted resources

Test beds allowing to assess the technical feasibility and the organisational impact of new systems

DPE: Coordination of national activities – centres of competence

Lisbon agenda - EU competitiveness

Digital preservation essential to preserve our collective institutional

memory (libraries, archives, museums)

but also for science and research scientific data

and for companies in various sectors of activity pharmaceuticals, financial sector

SHORT TERM (FP6): Focus on the needs of the some key user communities

memory preservation institutions (libraries, museums) scientific data resources multimedia archives

How to address their immediate needs in critical areas Systems and tools supporting key digital preservation functions Interoperability DRM

Infrastructure issues Registries, certification, authentication, accreditation Use of generic computing and storage services

Awareness of the broader scope of the problem Intrinsically linked with development of the information society Affecting most organisations and citizens

Digital preservation: the future …Digital preservation: the future …

SHORT / MEDIUM TERM (FP7):

Research aimed at addressing key technological problems

More cost effective approaches for ingestion and characterisation

Scalability of computing and storage resources (distributed architectures)

Heterogeneity (formats, platforms, objects, data semantics) across space and time

Anticipate the context of future access and reuse of preserved information

Post OAIS – evolution of the reference model

Revamping support infrastructures Drivers for digital preservation and their translation

into sustainable economic models Overcoming non-technological barriers (copyright)

Visionary research

Exploring new approaches to individual and collective memory preservation

Build on studies of human cognitive scenarios to better understand what is essential to preserve

How developments in digital preservation can result in realising a surrogate of human memory
